When a well no longer produces enough hydrocarbons to remain economically viable, it becomes a liability instead of an asset. At that stage, operators are looking for the most economical, reliable solutions for responsibly abandoning the well. But juggling low-cost suppliers and organizing delivery schedules can be complicated and time consuming.
